High Speed USB2.0 Flash Memory Controller
SM3257EN
The SM3257EN is a feature-enhanced USB2.0 Flash
Disk controller with high compatibility and best
performance designed to support MLC and TLC
NAND flash. The controller also supports high speed
ONFI 2.x and Toggle mode NAND. Compliant with
USB version2.0 specification and USB Mass Storage
Class version 1.0 specification, the SM3257EN
provides write protect, PC boot-up from USB2.0 Flash
Disk, password protection, secured partitioning
functions, etc.
The SM3257EN delivers high data transfer rate, and
ensures data accuracy and reliability with the
powerful ECC engine which can overcome the
read/write disturbances in 3xnm and 2xnm MLC/TLC
flash. By integrating an embedded crystal, regulators
and other components, the controller can reduce
customer overall cost at a system level. The
SM3257EN is available for LQFP/TQFP 48/64-pin
package and QFN 40-pin package with a
manufacturing-ready turnkey solution.
